    Maybe they should chuck in a 60m bid for Alderweireld. At least then we could watch on in amusement.

    There are three ways this can go.
    1. He is talked down from his tree and returns to the fold for at least one season.
    2. He becomes a complete arsehole and we sell him for a good price (which imo is 45/50 mill).
    3. Some idiotic club (but not Liverpool) offer seriously stupid money (excess of 60 mill) and we pack his bags for him.

    Nah. I don't really care where he ends up if he goes. Just think he'd be far better off at Chelsea/City.

    I don't think so, it's what we've asked for.

    It's going to take a stupid fee like that to allow us even the slightest consideration.

    None of this has done the board any harm either....flavour of the month.

    Just because Liverpool used their returning customer speed dial and Les hasnt picked up on the first attempt you can't then go straight to the player. He was probably just on lunch.

    Indeed, I thought that. If logic had been invented by football fans, Aristotle wouldn't have been a hero.

    So you're setting the price TLL.? Value and price have little in common. If Saints don't want to sell then VVD could be priced at £100M. £70M is perfectly reasonable.

    My standpoint throughout hasn't changed. I'd happily pay 50mil.

    Anything more than that is plain madness at this stage in his career after such an injury.

    Yes he's one of the best CB's in the PL. But he's not at a 70mil level... but let's be honest here.. who is? No-one!

    Silly season is happening. This summer is going to be pure madness.

    Man City just bought a GK for 35mil that's had 1 season as a number 1 ffs <doh>

    Man City set the bar for CB's last season when they paid £50 million for John Stones. By that reckoning, Virgil is worth £100 million+.

    On Sky, Southampton accept Liverpool's apology and consider the matter closed.

    Then he should have told him to keep well out of it and leave it to him...should never have let his client meet up with another club's manager directly.
